<P>It would be fascinating to learn how this works out.&nbsp; What an interesting position for Upwork to be in.&nbsp; A relatively iron-clad rule vs. religious tolerance.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am not smart enough to figure this stuff out.&nbsp; I'd love to know how it was resolved.<BR /><BR />John.</P>Mon, 17 Feb 2020 04:51:38 GMThttps://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/I-can-t-show-my-face-sorry-Can-I-be-approved-like-this/m-p/703551#M92838bizwriterjohn2020-02-17T04:51:38ZRe: I can't show my face, sorry.
